<(F): Baume du Pérou: est une substance extrêmement fréquente de notre environnement. Il s'agit d'un produit dérivé de la résine d'un arbre (Myroxilon) poussant au San Salvador, en Colombie ou au Venezuela et acheminé autrefois via le Pérou (d'où son nom).
<(Ing): Peru balsam: is a sticky aromatic liquid that comes from cutting the bark of the tree Myroxolon balsamum, a tree that is native to El Salvador. The "Peru" part of Balsam of Peru originates from when it was first named, El Salvador then being part of a Peruvian colony. Balsam of Peru smells of vanilla and cinnamon because it contains 60-70% cinnamein (a combination of cinnamic acid, cinnamyl cinnamate, benzyl benzoate, benzoic acid and vanillin). The other 30-40% contains resins of unknown composition. It also contains essential oils similar to those in citrus fruit peel. These are all potential allergens.
